First of all, I apologize if this topic has been discussed before. But I really need some information about NowSMS. My project is quite simple. I would like to be able to send MMS to mobile phones via my application. Can I use NowSMS for this? How? In my imagination, I would connect a mobile phone to a computer via data cable (usually RS232/serial connection). Then I install and run NowSMS. Then I configure NowSMS to use the attached mobile phone. Then I create an application, for example using VC++ (or other computer language). This application will 'talk' to NowSMS service via HTTP or other protocol to be able to send MMS. Is this correct? Or ... Because I just dont quite understand the development cycle or requirement diagram about how can I benefit NowSMS for my project. Please if you can explain to me in more detail. Thank you, Sincerely, JPL | |||

Hi JPL, Yes. Basically, your description is correct. I'd recommend the following link for some more information and pointers on setup: http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm For interfacing from your application, see: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages.htm I don't have any VC++ examples, but here are some scripting examples: PHP: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/1113.html JAVA: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/1360.html Those examples perform an HTTP POST (multipart/form-data) to do an HTTP file upload of the files that you want to send. If the files that you want to send can be placed on another web server, there is also an HTTP GET based solution described at the bottom of the following page: If you want to send referencing an object by HTTP URL instead of a local file, then it is actually possible to generate an HTTP GET request instead of a POST. There is an example at the bottom of the following page: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages_URL.htm -bn | |||
